Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2690670, member: 8272"] The first 60 minutes of game 3 1983. Queensland up 21-0 at half time and 33-0 just after. Blues came back with some late tries but it was still Queensland's biggest winning margin since 1955. [I] Lawrie Kavanagh, the doyen of Queensland sports writers, was moved to venture in the next day's The Courier-Mail: "Never in my experience have Queensland played such a dominant role over the reputed world champions of rugby league.[/I][I]"Never has there been a greater case for complete Queensland domination of a Test team.[/I] [I]"There is little to say of Queensland's magnificent victory except that it was complete, unquestionable and fulfilling for a bunch of underdogs who have been on the receiving end for many years."[/I] Stacey's try was terrific. Wally did some amazing things; huge 50m field goal right on half time just for fun. 9 Queenslanders made the Test team that night. Scott, Boustead, Meninga, Miles, Lewis, Fullerton-Smith, Vautin, Brown and Tessmann. That was unheard of. It was the first big win in Origin. [B]QUEENSLAND[/B] Colin Scott; Mitch Brennan, Mal Meninga, Gene Miles, Steve Stacey; Wally Lewis (c), Mark Murray; Paul Vautin, Wally Fullerton Smith, Bryan Niebling, Dave Brown, Greg Conescu, Brad Tessmann.
